To begin with the vehicle of publica-
ton, the ommon idea that articles and
stories which appear in monthly maya
zines, weekly or daily papers, are neces-
sarily fresh from the authors pen, is en-
tirely erroneous. Each magazine or
journal knows its own space require
ments, possibilities and limitations. and
manuscript is engaged or purchased to fill
its w place according to the editors
and publishers idea of what is fitting for
the moment or season. Nearly all the
first class magazines pay on acceptance;
but many of them hold matter thus pur-
chased for months and even one or two
years, awaiting a fit time, or it may be
even the space for such matter to be used.
The amount of ingenuity, planning, de-
liberation. and above all things the tact,
required by a magazine editor who does
his work well can never be understood by
the outside public, and few writers even,
who harass their editors with importuni-
ties, suggestions and endless inquiries,
have the least idea of the amount of
brain and capital he is expanding daily
in his work; that, to be popular, "A maya
zine must meet not only the demand OF
the reading public but n thousand. II
has its business and its literary side, lis
poetry and its prose, in more meaning
than one, and the casual purchaser OF
one of these monthly periodicals has not
the least conception of the labor and
though in providing him with page
which may suit or please his fancy in one
way, if not in another.-Mrs. Lille in
New York Star.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2l.-The boycott by
the liongshoremen's Union of freight
carried by the Old Dominion Steamship
company, proceeded with its usual vigor
to-day. and both sides-the longshoremen
and the foreign steamship companies
are awaiting for the expected storm to
burst. The Post says that nearly all the
steamship companies, with one exception,
are determined to resist the action of the
strikers, and that the first boycotted
freight handled by any of the steamship
companies will be a signal for a general
strike. The Longshoremens Union has
not only boycotted freight carried by the
Old Dominion company, but also the
lightermen, who have let their loads to
the Old Dominion company, rs well as
the lighters whose captains are not union
men. 1t is expected that the action of
Judge Shipman in issuing an order com
pelling the French companies to receive
freight which had been brought into port
by the Old Dominion company, will
hurry along a general strike.

There can be no question that France is

a plausible reason can be given for this.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off Of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines no doubt has largely
benefited the consumers as well as reliev-
ing the burden of home manufacturers.
Especially is this the case with GREEN'S
august Flo,cer and Boschee's German
Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six cents
per dozen has been added to increase the
size Of the bottles containing these rene
dies, thereby giving one fifth more medi-
cine in the IS cent size. The August
FIorer for Dyspepsia and Liver Com
plant, and the German Syrup for Cough
and Lung Troubles, have perhaps the
largest sale of any medicines in the world.
The advantage OF increased size of the
bottles will be greatly appreciated by the
sick and afflicted in every town and village
in civilized countries. Sample bottles for
10 cents remain the same size.

LOST CHILD.
]. M. Patrick in Search of His
Infant Daughter,
Who is Suddenly Spirited
Away.
Corruption in the District of
Columbia.

A Fathers Search for His Child.
DENVER, Jan. 2l.-James NJ. Patrick,
a. wealthy %ranchman near Denver, has
brought suit in the courts of St. Louis to
recover his infant child, who is heir to an
estate of a million dollars, and supposed
to have been abducted by his wife's peo-
pie in order to secure the property. Pat
rick in 1879 married the daughter of Nc
Manus, a very wealthy family of St.
Louis, on which occasion the present to
the bride was $780, 900. The couple set
tied in Bradley county, Tennessee. where
a daughter was born in 1884. The wiic's
health failed and the family moved to
Colorado, where Patrick purchased a cattle
ranch. According to Patrick story, in
the meantime dissentions rose in the Nc
Manus family. in which the child figured,
it being the intention of the McManus' to
get possession of the child and divorce the
mother on the plea of desertion and keep
the property in the family. While Pat
rick was fixing up the ranch, he sent his
wife and child to Canon City, where a
sister of Mrs. Patrick, from st. Louis,
visited them. Soon after this the hus-
band could receive no answers from letters
or kilograms to his wife; so he went to
Canon City, only to discover that his wife,
child and sister in law had suddenly
departed, leaving no word behind as to
where the wife at this time was. He i'm
mediately went to St. Louis where he
learned his wife was at her fathers house,
but he was not permitted to visit her.
On the 9th of Oct. last his wife died,
leaving an estate Of over 800, 900, in
Guiding the bridal present Of $4,000,
which tell into the hands of McManus.
Not only did they secure this, bat SO in
fuerced the wife that she disinherited
the child and left her fortune to her
brother. Patrick's child has been spir-
tied away and cannot be found. Patrick
thinks she has been confined in some
asylum in Canada and has brought suit
for her recovery and also the $50, 900
dowery. Since Patrick's residence in
Colorado he has been constantly annoyed
by acquisitions upon Governor Eaton, of
Colorado, from the governor of Tennes
see for his arrest, which Governor Eaton,
after investigating, refused to honor.
This, Patrick claims, is a part of the
work of McManus to have him confined
in prison on a trumped up charge.

Even when a good remedy for diseases is
selected, depends in some measure upon
the name in which it is taken, Irregu-
lar, interrupted doses can afford no fair
test of the efficacy of any medicine, how
ever salutary. Taken in proper doses at
prescribed intervals, a reliable curative
will effect the object Oi its use. Among
remedies which, systematically and per
s%istently used, accomplish thorough and
lasting cures, and prevents the recurrence
of periodic disease, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters ranks specially high. In cases of
dyspepsia, debility, rheumatism. fever and
ague, liver complaint. inactivity of the
kidneys and bladder, constipation and

have lent their professional sanction and

Mrs. Emmons Once More.

the marshal, women were to-day excluded
from the court room where the Emmons
lrnacy trial is in progress. On many
occasions during the progress of the case
the women present have INDUCED IN such
noisy manifestations Of sympathy with
Mrs. Emmons' cause as to call forth yes
terday a very positive protest from the
opposing counsel, the justice of which the
marshal recognized by issuing an order
excluding women from the room.
DIR. Lincoln was recalled to the stand
and said be thought Mrs. Emmons had
unusual capacity for managing her affairs.
DR.. A. Y. p. Garnett, of this city, was
next called. He did not consider Mrs.
Emmons an insane
DIR. j. Ford Thompson was called to
the stand and testified that he was asked
by DR.. Lincoln to see Mrs. Emmons II
few weeks ago to examine her mental CON
ditlon. He had an interesting conversa-
ton with her. He was impressed with
the fact that she was a very intelligent
woman. He did not think she was in
sane.
The defense announced that they had
but one more witness to examine, and the
case was adjourned until Monday.
The Archbishop and Henry George
New YORK, Jan. 2l.-At the palace
Of the archbishop, on Fifth avenue, a re-
porter was this morning informed that
Archbishop Corrigan was too busy to see
anyone. His secretary, Mcdonnell, when
asked if the archbishop intended to make
any reply to Henry Georges challenge in
to days Standard, said: THE archbishop
will make a statement this afternoon, and
will reply to Henry Georges challenge"
1t is known that the archbishop called his
counsellors together this morning and held
a lengthy meeting, at which the whole
situation was discussed, together with
Henry Georges challenge relating to an
order which, it is claimed, was sent out
by the archbishop to priests against the
constitutional convention. The challenge
created quite a stir among the priests of
the diocese, and they are very anxious to
know what the archbishop's reply will be.
1t was stated to-day by a friend of
George that the labor leader had in his
possession, or could get possession of, sew
eral orders which the archbishop had sent
out, and that the statement he made he
could prove. \ priest who is well known
among the parishioners of St. Stephens
church, said that he had not seen any
orders from the archbishop relating to the
constitutional convention. He said that
all priests in the diocese had received an
other caution not to talk about the Nc
Glynn case among themselves, nor to ont
siders

Corruption in the District o.
Columbia.

Columbia.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 2l.--In the senate
to-day Mr.. Colquitt, in presenting a petit
ton from the Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union, of the District of Column
bia, said that he assumed no responsible
ity for the startling facts revealed in the
petition, but he did answer for the pure
motives and high character of those who
laid it before the senate. The petition
was bold and aggressive and challenged
investigation of the facts. 1t was a plea
which mothers and wives made to this
body of grave and reverend %signors'' Tor
protection against such an excess of vice
and lawlessness as should not only alarm,
but humiliate the senate. They could
never disregard the voice of woman raised
in behalf of social purity and public virtue.
He asked that the petition be read at
length and referred to the district COM
mittee. The petition was read; it charges
the commissioners of the District of
Columbia with ~disregarding the purity,
safety and moral interests and rights of the
people; and asserts that in direct violation
of law they have been for months past
permitting and protecting gambling hells.
pool rooms and drinking establishments,
al well as dens of prostitution and vice,
and giving numerous particulars. 1t
charges that II house, owned by one of the
commissioners. is used as an office by the
agent of the Louisiana state lottery, and
that Frank Hume, the president of the
Liquor Dealers Association, is a bonds
man OF one Of the commissioners. 1t
therefore prays for a thorough investiga-
ton OF the facts and for the proper en-
forcement OF law and protection OF homes
within the district.
Mr., lIawley remarked that the petition
Just read was a tremendous Indictment
and shocking revelation, and he suggested
that Mr., Colquitt should accompany il
with a resolution calling for immediat,
and sever investigation.
MIR. Coldliti said he did not feel it in
cumbent on him to make any suggestion
to the committee. He did not doubt tina.
the committee would be in full sympathy
with any movement to redress these helm
